Goodnight Mommy

“A mother should look out for her sons.”

When their mother comes home from cosmetic surgery with her face wrapped in bandages, nine-year-old twins Elias and Lukas (Elias and Lukas Schwarz) stop believing she is the same woman. Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz set the film in a lonesome house in the countryside, in the heat of summer, with the boys watching her through doorways. Mother (Susanne Wuest) wants her sons to obey, and they want to know who is under the gauze.
